Dungeon Design Elements: Spices As Treasure

According to a recent news report, the price of black pepper is expected to rise as a result of bad weather. To give you some perspective on the modern value of black pepper, the price of wheat is reported at $250/tonne, compared to black pepper, which is valued at $4,000/tonne. In ancient and medieval times, black pepper is even more valuable.

I started working on this spices treasure table, as a way to spice things up during treasure distribution, but have not yet completed it. I'm intending to add comments on the scents of each, so as not reveal what the actual spice is. I was also going to add a related monetary value and the form that it takes. Feel free to steal this and update it to your liking.
